Needs more work
Good in parts, but infuriating at times.
A relatively small matter to begin with is the consistent failure to play nicely with password manager app 1Password. Trying to use the autofill function to import the login details causes the Operations app to freeze, every time, requiring a shutdown. The workaround is to manually enter the username and then copy and paste the password to get the Operations app to start
Much more annoying and I can’t find a workaround: the refusal to allow the patrol to log off unless all obscure and unidentified data is completed. There is no indication to find what data is incomplete. Do I really need to enter the times of the next 2 high and low tides? I just give up on trying to guess what the app wants and log off manually by radio instead, putting the app away until next patrol

Really saddened
Hi guys,
Accepting that we work for a voluntary organisation, it truly saddens me some of the basics are not 100% reliable with this app. How is it possible to have someone shown as a substitute yet there is no substitute recorded? This app MUST, as part of it’s basic core function, record the hours of attendance by those volunteers who have given their time to help their fellow Australians. And this has failed time and time again. Why must it be left to the Patrol Captains to check that the attendance was correct? Why is it that means of correcting the hours is not provided to the said Patrols Captains in the event that a mistake has occurred?
As a member of Woolworths IT, it saddens me that the app has been released without rigorous testing, verifying that what was captured did indeed take place. It saddens me that, in the last few years there are likely thousands of voluntary hours that have gone unrecorded.
Guys, this app needs work, and it needs proper testing, and ideally some UX redesign.

Response from developer
Hi MbararaTone, the app will work on the latest iOS, we recommend re-installing the app if you are still experiencing issues.
Glitches
Please fix the glitch with the app that automatically turns off the patrol when you have signed on.
